"RIRE" is the acronym for "Research Institute of Real Estate", which is affiliated with the "Faculty of Construction Management & Real Estate", Chongqing University.
RIRE was set up within the former Chongqing Jianzhu Univesity in 1990s with the objective
of forging closer industrial research collaboration on issues of concern to the real estate
industry. Since
the merger between the Chongqing University and the Chongqing Jianzhu
University at the cross-century, RIRE has developed rapidly.Over the recent years, RIRE has
provided expert consultancy services and/or market
specific studies to various organizatons and
enterprises
such as the administration departments of the government, private corporations and the public. Further, RIRE coordinates research activities
and administers the admissions
of students to the department's postgraduate
research programme.
RIRE adopts a three-pronged strategy in meeting this challenge. Firstly, we aim to strengthen the research ethos among the faculty and cultivate a strong research culture within the department. Secondly, we would like to forge closer links with the real estate industry and government organisations through research collaborations and consultancy projects. Thirdly, we look to initiate multi-discipline, cross-faculty and cross-university research collaborations.
Through international curricula and international academic staff exchanges, RIRE has got a lot of hail-fellows, such as::
The University of Reading (Britain)
The University of Florida (U.S.)
The University of Manchester (Britain)
The University of Queensland (Australia)
The National University of Singapore (Singapore)
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong SAR)
